Saudade

I allowed myself to feel the missing of a friend tonight. She moved to Mississippi in January of this year. I really miss her, she was someone I could really talk to spiritually and just be myself with. She has such a spirit, very giving, thoughtful. She challenged me physically on our walks together. She has a great laugh and perspective. She was someone I never expected to be so close to. She was a great cook, always loved her southern ways. I am not sure if she will ever know what an impact she has had on me. I pray I find someone just like her, though she is one in a million. She loved to play games and was very competitive. She is an excellent teacher and not afraid to show me her vulnerability. Anyway, tearing up a bit as I write. Life has been busy since you left, but that doesn't mean I don't miss you, I always will.
